Plan on practicing archetypes, continue looking for work :(, eat lots, spend time with family and friends, and last but not least relax. Not necessarily in that order.

Plan on practicing archetypes, continue looking for work :(, eat lots, spend time with family and friends, and last but not least relax. Not necessarily in that order.
I think the only archetype I'll be working on is 'Druid- Devourer of Turkey.' My special powers include Swallow Turkey Whole and Ranged Attack: Spit Gravy.
Would you say spit gravy to avoid the error of mentioning vomiting in your work, LOL. I just hope you spit it out your mouth instead of your nose for that could be a bit painful....
Probably look up what 'archetypes' are at some point.
I can help you there a little. The Advanced Player's Guide on page 72. If you read the first few sections on that page you should have a general idea of what an archetype is and how to go about making one.

I plan on pacing the hall nervously and occasionally chewing on the carpet with anxiety after missing the fact that there was a word-count printed above the preview!
In between that, I may try and figure out if it is possible to archetype the witch without twisting the flavour too much.
Then more pacing and chewing.
job hunting and spending way too much time with the in-laws.
hopefully, the rest of you have better plans than that.
- I'll probably joggle around ideas for the next RPG Superstar rounds... you know - just in case I make the cut.
- Probably try to get some ideas for a PFS scenario scribbled down.
- Play some PFS.
- Go on a date with the Mrs.
- Try not to yell too mutch at my own or my sisters kids ;)
Not necesarily in that order.
Work with a couple of extra days off next week, spend time with the family, (hopefully) replace stolen van, and work on more archetypes.

I've thrown my hat into the ring early this year, and plan to use the time to get one or two archetypes ship-shaped. All the rounds are extremely short this year, and time's even more precious in my case.
If i have time left (as if!) I might even start with some basic sketches for round 3. Talk about confidence, huh?

My submission went in earlier this week. It is my second year and I hope learned from last year.
So having this out of the way I will be doing some writing today. Only partly related to fantasy ... Just tried my skills as ghostwriter for Father Christmas to explain to my daughter why the present she wished for is slightly altered. As a dad you can't say it ran out and you refused to pay triple price on e-bay when something very similar is still available.
Next on the list is a story for my god-child. It's from a slighly befuddled Wizard called Schuchtern who is sending her a fitespitting dragon that needs some training (German children board game of the year - hopefully has arrived - the story luckily goes by e-mail giving me up to last minute to keep the deadline.
And next is another story from the befuddled wizard to his wife telling her why a drawing he commissioned for her got completely muddled up and instead of a nice picture of her she is getting a raging dwarf. If you haven't detected a pattern here yet - that her alter ego - her level 7 dwarf. Thanks to Avatar Art - it looks great.
I might be able to fool myself and pretend I can write - but I certainly can't draw.
So this will be followed by two days downtime and then I will give some thoughts to the next rounds. It will be useful to have some ideas. Beyond that - well - just wait and see.

Think about and scribble down some ideas for round 2. Head down to the local game shop to play some monsterpocalypse the day after Christmas. Try and convince my group to play some PF.
